Fire Engine Cake

Two years in a row have my little friends wanted a Fireman Sam cake for their birthday. Last year I did a normal round cake and made a flat fire engine on top (I would show a photo but my hard drive died and I lost it boo). But this year I felt a bit more adventurous so went 3D!

I made an 8" square chocolate cake and chopped it up into a rectangle with an extra square of sponge to make the raised top front. Then I smothered it in the red fondant then stuck on fondant fire engine parts.

I haven't done a lot of models before so I was quite pleased with my fire fighter! He'd just put out a fire so he's having a rest.

Cath Kidston inspired cake

Here's a cake I made this week based on Cath Kidston designs http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/.

It was very fun to make. I still need to work on my fondant roses - the petals always stick together I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?!

I think it'd look very cool as the top cake for a wedding with a tower of cupcakes underneath. I've run out of washing up energy to make any today though.
